Michael Beasley is averaging 20 ppg with better FG%'s than Gallo as the primary scoring option and Minnesota is at the bottom of the west.

Gallo's stats are good but Amare is the primary reason we are winning games. Only person who is keeper on this team is Amare.

any argument that uses Michael " IQ=10" beasley as the backbone of its defense, loses from the start... really, there is a real reason why no team may ever win that is led by beasley, regardless of what his stats say..

Seems Beasley is smart enough to put up better stats across the board than Gallo with better percentages while averaging the same amount of minutes.

beasley was the #2 pick right? he BETTER be putting up btr #'s than gallo. prob w beasley is that he doesnt strike me as a team guy. do you think the knicks would be a better team if you swaped beasley for gallo right now? that is, do you trust beasley to play within a team concept w players like amare and ray arounf him? b/c he couldnt hack it in miami with real starpower around him and they gave him all the room in the world to do it. rather, he got depressed.

i hear ye but im not so worried about him rebounding so much more. we'll get that other big to help w the bounding and melo will help with that also. mid range for gallo is key. he needs to add some more moves to his repetoire b/c if he does continue to develop, there will be a time when he will be double teamed and he'll need to figure out how to deal with that.

I place high value on the hustle stats. Everyone needs to chip in on the glass because as great as Amar'e is, the opposition is usually going to have a better rebounder matching up against him. If Gallo can chip in with the hustle stats, it's a no brainer, and the Knicks have to hold onto him for a long time.

Honestly, against the crap teams, I hope bans Gallo from shooting threes during the first three quarters. Let the less versatile guys do what they do well and force Gallo's progression. I think he'll embrace it, a he did in guarding the other team's best player last season. I like his attitude (and I hope Mozgov and AR consult him)

Different team... different roles. Do you even read what you write?? You say that Beasley is the #1 scoring option on Minny, and you compare him to a guy who up to this point has been the #4 offensive option on the team. Beasley takes 7 shots more/game than Gallinari.

The poster you responded to also mentioned defense, something Beasley has shown a marked indifference to in his young career.

Substituting Beasley for Gallo on this Knicks team would be a mistake if we had the opportunity to makes such a swap, and that is the only way to evaluate the two at this point in time.

You can make excuses all you like for Gallo. Fact is Beasley is being guarded by better defenders yet still manages to put up better percentages ACROSS THE BOARD. So if anything Gallo should be more efficient than Beasley because he plays with Felton and Amare. That isnt the case though.

Swapping the two wouldn't be a mistake because Beasley has the superior mid range game. People want to herald Gallo driving yet Beasley has done this for years. Gallo's jump shot has been dog **** lately for a supposed "shooter" too.

too bad he is not smart enough to help his team win.. while in Miami with a superstar in wade. He was a bum... pure bum.... beasley is a guy who rather rule in hell than to serve in heaven... If he plays with talent, and he has to defer, he turns into a bum.. if he can play on a bad team and throw up shots without much consequence.. he puts up decent numbers.. that is not smart.. that is stupid, that is being a bum.. end of story bro..

how can you prove that beasley is being guarded by better defenders? gallo usually guards the other teams best wing, and usually, they are on him. I can't find much better defenders than lebron, and prince.. both guard gallo everytime they play..

i think if u replaced Beasley with Gallo on the T'Wolves, he'd easily be putting up 20+ per game too... the opportunity for him to become a featured scorer would be there for him in Minny that doesn't really exist in NY w/Gallo playing a 3rd/4th option role... Beasley could easily put up Gallo's #'s in NY playing next to Amare if the roles were reversed also... the talent level is pretty comparable between the 2 players... the difference lies in Gallo's team oriented personality & willingness to play defense, something Beasley has not really shown much of since he's been in the league... haven't watched enough of Beasley's play this year to say if his attitude has changed since he's been in Miami though.

Nice rant. Too bad his production in Miami was far from a bum. Beasley is only averaging 4 more shots per game yet and 6 more points per game versus his stats in Miami.

Dude teams try to get the ball out of Beasley's hands just like they try to get the ball out of Amare's hands. Im talking ball denial and double teams. Beasley isnt getting many wide open shots either. Beasley is scoring with an assortment of mid range moves that people here hope Gallo can develop.

I agree with the first part of this.

The 2nd part is really just bad rep that Beasley got stuck with. Love has been quoted as Beasley being the best teammate he has had. The guy is a willing defender he just isnt a very good defender. He is average at best.

Gallo is even better than Reggie Miller was at drawing fouls on 3's and jumpers. He must've went through that Italian Soccer training. HE almost always is drawing fouls when he drives to the basket too. He certainly has a knack and thats why he can be a great scorer in the NBA
